Beer Darts Mode

Not the outdoor game with a can on a stake — DartUp's Beer Darts runs entirely off the board. One throw gives you a number, then the game plays itself.

Players

Any number of players, each gets their own number

You'll need

A DartUp board and darts

How to play

1Every player throws one dart to start. Wherever it lands becomes your number for the rest of the game.
2From then on, if anyone's dart lands on your number, you drink.
3Land it in the inner rings and it's 2 drinks; the outer rings, 3 drinks.
4Hit the centre bullseye and you give out 2 shots to whoever you like.
5Hit the outer bullseye and you take 1 shot yourself.
6Play continues with no set ending — wind it down when the group's ready.

Tips

→ This isn't the classic hit-a-can-on-a-stake Beer Darts you might already know — don't set up expecting that version.
→ With more than 6 players, write everyone's number down somewhere. Nobody remembers eleven numbers by round three.
→ Decide the inner and outer ring split before you start playing, so nobody argues mid-round.

Dart Up Mode

The mode DartUp's built around. Throw a dart, do what the section says, pass it on. House rule: first to five completed forfeits wins — or skip the score and just play rounds.

Team Up Mode

Same board, different target. In Team Up mode, whatever your dart lands on, the other team does it — and you get to pick who.

301 Darts, With a Drinking Rule

Straight darts scoring, played properly, with one house drinking rule: miss the board completely, take a drink. Add your own on top if your table wants more.

Beer Darts is one of DartUp's four built-in modes — everyone claims a section of the board, and when yours gets hit, you drink.
